I mentioned the proxy because TextMate reads the proxy settings but 
looking at the code, it does skip that for localhost.

And this is code connecting to localhost so internet environment 
shouldn’t matter.

Re-reading the error you get, it does say: Failed to connect to 
localhost port 64762: Connection refused.

So the issue seems to be that the server that the test code sets up 
fails to listen on this port.

The server setup does abort() if it fails to create the listening 
socket, but it doesn’t report any errors if accept() fails, so I added 
a message for that and pushed. Though this is grasping at straws…

Have you rebooted since you got this error? Again, grasping at straws, 
but I have never seen this code fail before and it’s about setting up 
a listening socket…

Afraid my edit will just remove all info about this. There isn’t any 
practical solution to skipping tests and I will likely have to make it a 
./configure argument.

I think you misunderstand. You need to delete 
Frameworks/network/tests/t_download.cc — there is no way ninja would 
restore that.
